Application filed April 6, 1911. Serial No. 619,353.

To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that. l. LEROY A. Sammie. a citizen of the United States. residing at Hope. in the county of Hempstead andi State of Arkansas, have invented a new and j uset'ul (Jhurn-Dasher, of which the follow- 1 ing is aspeciticrdion. 1

This invention relates to churn dashers of that type disclosed in Patent No. 978.653,? issued to me on December 13, 1910.

The object of the invention is to provide a dasher the handle ofiwhieh constitutes a liquid container whereblv either hot or cold water may be held for the purpose of chang ing the temperature of the cream being; worked. there being means used in eonuecl tion with said handle and wherein air can t be forced into the cream during th down. strokes of the dasher or. it desired, a suetion force can be created on the up strokes of the dasher. ith the foregoing and other objects: in l view which will appear as the d syription proceeds the invention residex in the eonii bination and arrangement of parts and in 1 the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed. it being understood that chang-s in the precise em mdiment of the invention herein disclosed can be madi within the scope of what is claimed withoutdeparting from the spirit of the invention.

In the accom mn ving drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings:'l igure 1 is a central longitudinal section through the dasher. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section through the valve and its casing. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the structure shown in Fig. 2.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a substantially hollow conical dasher having openings 2 formed therein and projecting from the center of this dasher is an elongated tubular handle 3 the lower end of which 'may be closed by a plug 4. this plug, however, being readily removable, there being an eye 5 extending from one face thereof and which constitutes means whereby the removal of the plu is facilitated. The upper end of the handle 3 is preferably enlarged, at 6, to form a seat for a valve casing 7. This casing is substantially bowl-shaped and the wall thereofi is bulged outwardly, as indicated at 8 while a series of openings 9 are formed in the bottom of the casing. A stem 10 extends through and is se ured t the center of the bottom of the casing. this stem being perpendicular to the bottom and constituting a guide for a disk valve ll. any suitable means. such as a cotter pin 1;. being provided for holding the disk against displacement relative to the stem. As shown in the drawings the stem projects abouand below the casing so as to be easily grasped.

- (lasing 8 is designed to be forced into the enlarged portion ot' the handle 3 and is held firmly seated within the enlargement by reason of its frictional engagement with the same.

'hen it. is desired to change the lpniperature oi the rontents oi the churn in which the dasher is to be work d. the tubular handle 3 is closed at its lower end by the plug 4' and said handhis then partly or entirely tilled with either hot or cold water and. when the dasher is moved dmvnwurdly into the contents of the churn. it. will be ap parent that the said contents will be heated or chilled by the handle 3. according to the t mperature of the water contained within the handle.

Should t be desired to utilize the dasher for the purpose of Forcing air into the cream, the contents of said handle are removed and plug 4 is withdrawn. The valve casing is then removed from the position shown in Fig. l and inverted and then reinserted into the enlargement 6 of the handle. it being apparent that. the valw 11 will thus be sup ported under the openings 9. During the down stroke of the dasher air contained within the handle Jl ,will be prevented from escaping upward]; because disk 11 will be seated upon the apertnred portion of its casing. The air will therefore. be forced do\vnwardly into the cream. During the. up stroke of the dasher additional air may be drawn into the handle through the openings 9, the. valve disk 11 moving downwardly from the openings.

Should it be. desired to create a suction force through the. handle 3 during the up strokes of the (lt|Sl19I.lli8 valve casing should be arranged as shown in Fig. 1. \Vith the casing thus arranged disk 11 is normally seated on the apertured bottom of the easing and, during the down stroke of the dasher air contained within the handle 3 will be forced upwardly through the openings 9, thus unseating the disk whereas, during the up strokes of the dasher, the disk 11 will be seated and prevent air from entering the handle through the openings 1 It will be seen that the valve casing is readily reversible so as to cause the valve to act in the manner desired and. as before 3 ran be furthermore uti- 5 tionall engaging the handle, a stem within stated, the handle lized as a. means for heating or t'OUllllg the cream simply by inserting plug -linto the lower portion of the handle and then filling said handle with water of the desired tom pera t u re.

hat is claimed is:

1. A churn dasher including a hollow head, a tubular handle extending therefrom and communicating therewith, and means for closing the lower end of the handle, said handle constituting a water container.

2. A churn dasher including a hollow head, a tubular handle extendin therefrom, a valve casing detachably seated in one end of the handle, said casing having openings. a stem extending through the center of and fixed relative to the casing, and a disk valve slidably mounted on the stern and adapted to close the openin 3. A churn dasher including a hollow head, a tubular handle extending therefrom, .raid handle having a seat, a reversible valve easin frictionally engaging the handle and detaehably mounted on the seat, said casing having an opening, and a disk valve movably mounted in the casing for closing said opening.

4. A churn dasher including a hollow body, a tubular handle extending therefrom and having a seat, a reversible valve casin detaehablv mounted within said nlarged portion and having a bulged wall for fricand fixed relative to the. casing. said stem extending beyond opposite portions of the casing, and a disk valve slidably engaging the stem, said casing having an opening adapted to be closed by the valve.

5. A churn dasher including a hollow body. a tubular handle extending therefrom and having a seat, a reversible valve easing detachably mounted within said enlarged portion and having a bulged Wall for frictionally engaging the hanle, a stem within and fixed relative to the casing, said stem extending beyond opposite portions of the casing, and a disk valve slidahly engaging the stem, said casing having an opening adapted to be closed by the valve, and means for closing the other end of the handle.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses,

LEROY A. QANDOE.
